Federal bayonets and courts mar- tial constitute the beginning and ead of this scoundrel's idea of government-- He even distrust his packed juries, and to 'that extent has a little the start of jKFTRiKS,of infamous memory, who followed the forms of law. The five years of civil wsr and five years of re- -construction have thrown to the surface f no more hideous specimen of the upstart ' tyrant than Ackexkan. - Th Commissioner- of Education has i irreparod. a series ef statistics to be em' -bodied in his annual report, setting forth . the relation of education 1 a crime In the New England States. From this it ap pears, first, that eighty per cent, of the criminals in those States have no education, or not sufficient to serve them a val uable purpose in life ; second, eighty to ninety per cent, of the criminals have never learned any trade, nor are they paster of any skilled labor ; third, not far from seventy-five per oent. of the crimes committed re by persons of for eign extraction, born themselves abroad, ' or their parents ; fourth, eighty to ninety . , ... .

Senator Sherman is represented as having recently declared to an inter viewer "that all talk about members This we take to : be the concentrated essence of impudence. The Cleveland ' Herald prints a communication on the Senatorial question from a Republican, which winds np as follows : It may be that a majority of the vot-ers in Northern Ohio wonld be gratified to see Governor Cox placed in the United States Senate, as they have entireconn--denoe in his integrity and patriotism, ttnt if fiftnatnr Rhnrnian bas nsed the tame .precautionary means in other eountie as in Ltttalwga, hit re election ts tecurea.

Notwithstanding the card of de-vial on the' part of the officials of that Stie, there is a general belief that there is something wrong, and the bonds are 'selling in the New York market at thirty cents on the dollar.. The Charleston Cturfer of November 7th, in a strong Editorial, recommends the people of the Stata tn rAnndiat all th hnnds of the State Issued under Scott's administration, if the reported frauds be true, and it reiterates the recommendation on the following day. The articles, it is stated give general satisfaction. Well may the South Carolina papers, in speaking of nini;n Anrt tha trriln mili- tary rule which bears so heavily upon the Bpirita and business of their people, declare that "to be first plundered by Scott Sc.

QBEKLEV AHD GREENBACKS. n Strange to relate, the New York Tribune has become a convert to an important financial , proposition set forth in the platform of the Ohio Democracy, the advocacy of which by General Thomas Ewino in the late canvass, elicited from the . Republican papers and speakers generally, and also from some Demo-oratie journals (the Chicago Times and Detroit Free Press, for instance,) a great deal of opposition and ridicule. We re fer to the declaration in favor of the gradual redemption of the Five-twenties in greenbacks, and " that (we quote the Democratic platform) to guard against too great an expansion, the greenbacks should be made convertible into three per cent. bonds at the option of the note holders, said bonds to be redeemed in greenbacks on de mand.' That is the marrow of the Dem ocratic resolution on the financial policy tthat should be pnrsued by the Government. , -. The New York Tribune last week in an ' article pronouncing Senator Bodtweix's plan of funding the national debt, at tower rate 01 interest a failure, oomes out strongly in favor of the polioy of funding the greenbacks in three per cent, bonds, again convertible at the pleasure of the holder in greenbacks. This, of coarse, to prevent too great an expansion. . As the Tribune has been one ' of the most vigorous opponents of the aancial policy advocated by the Ohio Democracy, its conversion to an essen tial part thereof is somewhat remarka- ' 00 I VOL.

Oar Greenbacks, no longer false. but convertible at pleasure into bonds bearing a moderate gold interest and ex changeable as aforesaid, oonld not fail to appreciate steadily until they nearly reached the level of gold. Indeed, they would, unless issued too profusely, be really better than gold.

If there were at any time an excess of currency, it wonld tend to precipitate itself into the bonds aforesaid.

They would say : "Thoagh I might invest or deposit these funds where they would command higher interest, I choose to place them where I know they will be safe at the hand when called for." VIL Ultimately, we believe they would become so popular that hundreds of mil- hons of them would be absorbed at or very near the par of specie, and that with the proceeds an equal amount of outstanding sixes might be redeemed and canceled, without advertising for loans or paying banker to shin for us throughout Europe. The interest thus saved to our country would be an im portant item. Such are the rude outlines of a plan whioh we did not originate, but which we heartily endorse. Why not give it a trial T We should dearly like to inform Europe that, since she seems not to want any more of our bonds at five per cent., we have concluded to take the balance ourselves at three and two-thirds. The only difference between the plan of the Ohio Democrats and the Tribune, is that the latter proposes to bay up bonds at their value on a gold basis (111, in currency) while the Democra cy declare that the government creditor should be paid in precisely the same cur rency he loaned the government, unless the contract otherwise provides. For a thousand dollar bond we wonld pay the holder a thousand dollars in greenbacks, while the Tribune wonld pay $1,125 50 in greenbacks. Only this little difference as to the redemption remains to be adjust ed, and the Tribune and everybody else will find it pleasant sailing. OBIO NEWS. John S.

HUMORS ABOUT TWHED AND HIS ASSOCIATES.There are rumors current that Tweed is meditating flight. Charles O'Connor and his associates in the prosecution of city plunderers, have information to this effect. In view of his having transferred so much of his property, and overwhelming evidence against him as well in ref erence to Erie railroad frauds as those against the city, it is contemplated on the part of the Attorney General to ask an inorease of bail. As yet no answer has been put in in Tweed's ease ; no no tice of appearance has been received. Xbe Unbune, commenting on the sub ject of Tweed's flight, says, "to let him escape now would be to lose the fruits of the late victory, and that his punish ment ac nara laDor in tne state prison the rest of his life is demanded bv everv consideration of pnblio politioal morality.

It is definitely settled that Woodward has fled beyond the reach of any legal process. ELECTION FRAUDS. The mass meeting of the citizens of Brooklyn last night was the largest ever held in that city. The tone of the speakers was of the strongest character against all kinds of official thievery. The intimation from several speakers that lamp posts should be orna mented with the bodies of repeaters and ballot-box stuffers elicited enthusiastic cheering. A committee was appointed to collect evidence ot a praotical char acter. All the pecuniary, moral and physical aid necessary was pledged. lhe Democratic itetorm Committee have evidence that fifteen thousand fraudulent votes were counted Tuesday. They expect to punish thirty-six repeat ers already under surveillance. There is evidence against the police. A lawyer named Darling promises to give two hundred and nfty dollars to Assemblyman elect Fields, if he can pro duce tne amdavits ot twenty-nve men. not employed Dy tne city, who voted for him. The count shows Fields got 2,218 votes. FUTURE MOVEMENTS.

Nothing short of a clean sweep will be satisfactory. ine heavy discbarges ot Tammany sin- ecurists made by Deputy Controller Green left the organization without its working foroe of repeaters on election day. Per haps in all several thousand names have been dropped from the oity pay- rolls since the appointment of Depnty Controller Green.

The letters which Fisk seeks to suppress by these proceedings will cause a sensation, when brought to light. Besides furnishing evidence against the rogues, they have somewhat of interest from the amorous, racy style in which they are written. THE RUSSIAN PRINCE. There was considerable excitement in town this evening caused by the announcement that the Russian Prince had arrived in the lower bay. The basis of report was in the arrival of one of the Russian fngaets below. Quarastink, StaTks ISLAND, Nov., 12. 187. The Russian clipper Abrick, Captain Schanter, thirty two days from Aledeira, anchored in the lower bay last night. Captain Schanter says that he parted company with the Admiral about twenty-1 seven days ago, and.that his arrival here may be expected at any moment. The Abrick was boarded by the revenue cut ter Northerner at seven o'clock this morning. Charles O Connor said yesterday that Tweed was taking au the preliminary steps that men take when they seek to elude justice by nignt to a foreign land. The police would not be very active in orresting mm even now, 11 tne commit tee of Seventy could give them power. and would not help us by informing of his movements. O'Connor believed that Tweed would certainly fly, and there are not many impediments in his way but wherever they go in Europe they will find they cannot remain with impu nity, but will be followed wnerever law can follow. As to Field, his seat in the Assembly will be disputed, on the ground ot fraud in tne elections, ot which proof is so aunnaant mat iioratio Sey mour will surely take nis seat. The new charter, already drafted for submission to the Legislature, win provide a more just government for the people. As to the dinlcnlty about tne Aiaermen, the Mayor need not trouble himself about it, as in January, in any case, the newly elected Aldermen will be the Aldermen, and all points ot law swept away. James Irving, in a published state. ment. says he knows nothing about the . . . , i 1 i assault on uowiey, ior wnicu no was ar rested; he don't know that he ever saw Dowley; was not near the fracas and did not recoenize any parties concerned in it; thinks the action against him is for the nnrnose ot persecution, ana that he has been treated by the United States authorities like a dog. It is suspected the wrong man was arrested, and it is reported about the sheriffs office that Say's description of the assailant tallies with one deputy sheriff named Jim Erbe. SUICIDE. Mrs. J. O.

Soma of the best talent in the United States is expected to be present at the Labor Reform Convention to be held on December 5th. Already some four or five hundred credentials have been mailed to influential sympathizers. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONERS. The Civil Service Commissioners, to day, resumed their regular session, which had been interrupted by a week's recess. All the members were present excepting Mr. Med ill, who is still detained in Chi cago. The subject under discussion to day was, "What exceptions are neces sary to the proposed general rules in ap pointment f" . RESIGNATION OF GENERAL SIGEL. The resignation of General Franz Sigel, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Ninth district of New York, was re ceived at the Treasury to-day. The object of the recent visit of Mr. Evarts to Washington was in connection with bnsiness to be brought before the tribunal of arbitration at Geneva. No information has yet been reoeived from Benjamin R. Curtis as to his ac ceptance of the tender of the appoint ment as associate counsel. A-few claims only have as yet been re ceived for presentation to the United States and British Commission, which will reassemble in this city Tuesday. Mr. Howard, the British agent, has been instructed by his Government not to present to the Commission claims of persons heretofore British subjects who have become naturalized citizens of the United States. United States and Spanish Commissions will proceed to consider claims in December. Before the Commission was authorized a large number of claims for spoliations in Cuba were presented to the Department of State. Perhaps not more than nine or ten have so far been presented to the Commission in accordance with the prescribed form. THE HORNET DIFFICULTY. Statements that several Spanish war vessels had left Cnban waters for the purpose of seizing the Hornet are pro nounced untrue. The Spanish authori ties have already been advised that se rious trouble may result should the Hornet be seized while she is under the American flag, and especially as it is not known that she has vio lated the neutrality laws. While it cannot positively be asserted that she is privileged to carry onr flag, her true character, nevertheless, is a qneition for oivil investigation, and not to be determined alone by the Spanish authorities with the aid of a naval force. Another subject in this connection forms . - .. .. . . a Dasia ot r.nmnlaint nvtnn Knanisn linv. eminent, namely: Not long ago the Spanish Consul at irort-au-frince made a demand on the Havtien anthoritien for the surrender of the Hornet, but was refused, our Minister there having entered a strong protest against it, and also against the Spanish menace. Some time after these proceedings the Spanish Consul, while passing the wharf where the ves sel lay was londly derided by her orew, which is said to consist ot about two hundred colored sailors. In consequence of these proceedings, the Consul returned to his consulate and took down his flag, and the fact of the alleged indignity has been communicated to oar Uovernment Thna tha mat. tor now stands, with no aded by the Spanish vessel, Hayti being too feeble to demand respect for her neu trality. WEATHER PROBABILITIES. The barometer will probably continue high with clear weather to-night, and be followed by clondy weather on Monday in Middle and Eastern States. Clouds and rain extend very generally over Mississippi valley and eastward ovor the Ohio valley and Lake Huron. Increasing southeasterly winds on Lake Michigan to-night and elsewhere, dangerous winds are not anticipated, precautionary sig- nals are ordered for this evening at Chi- p.nirn and Milwankee. MURDER. A Father Murders His Two Little Girls by Driving Nails into their Heads Arrest of the Bloaster. Sr. Lours, November 12, 1871 A horrible mnrder was committed near Osage Mission, Kansas, on the night of theCth inst. The facts elicited at the coroner's inquest are as follows: John P, Flanagan, the perpetrator of the crime, having recently met with pecuniary lessee, resolved to dispatch himself and family, and on the 6th inst. procured chloroform, and during the night administered it to his wife and two lit tle girls, aged ten months and two years. About four o'clock in the morning Mrs. Flanagan awoke from the stupor pro duced by the chloroform and discovered her husband in the act ot driving ten- penny nails into the head of one of the children, and nying to tne rescue ot ner I babes, she found them expiring I from the effects of the blows in flioted with the hatchet and nails. She succeded in disarming her husband, gave the alarm, and he was taken into custody. A letter was found tacked to the wall of the room addressed to some of his lelatives, in which he states that in consequence of his mind being in sue a a condition that lie could not do anything, he had determined to kill himself and family, excepting his son Clarence. CHICAGO. Meeting of Craia Receivers Action of Distillers Saicides The Vote for Congressman Import Duties Dead Rodics Fonnd. Chicago, November 11, 1871. MEETING OF GRAIN RECEIVERS. A meeting of grain receivers, who have lost grain burnt in the cars and eleva tors, prior to delivery to consigners, was held yesterday evening. The chairman of the meeting announced that he had called upon the authorities of the North western and Illinois Central Railroad, and in answer to his inquiry, they said they should refuse to pay for grain in their hands, since the loss was by the act of God. The consignees hold that there was no delivery until they had reoeived and paid the freight bills. A committee was appointed to draw up a paper to be signed by all who wanted to prosecute the road, ft was generally understood that the road would agree to a test case. ACTION OF DISTILLERS.

I DEAD BODIES FOUND. luis morning the dead body of a man was fonnd lying near the foot of the en trance to JLia Kalle street tunnel. The feet, faoe and one hand of deceased are badly burned, and it is believed that while intoxicated he undertook to warm himself among the smouldering ruins, near where he was found, fell and re oeived the injuries described, and then crawled to the tunnel entrance, when, exhausted by pain and partly uncon scious from drink, he lay down to die. Another dead body was fonnd on the lake shore, just south of Menomonee street. The remains bad been washed np by the waves, and have the appearance of having been some time in the water. KENTUCKY. Horrible Marder ia ladiana A Whale Faaaily Batcaered General Painter aad the Department mt Keatacky. LorisviLLB, November 13, 1871. This morning a family named Parks were fonnd murdered in their house near Henryville, Indiana. The family con sisted of Cyrus M. Parks and his wife Isabella, a son, John, aged ten, a daughter, Eveline, aged soventeen, and Ellen, aged fifteen. The heads of all were ter ribly beaten and crushed with some blunt instrnment. The brains of Parks wife and son were scattered about the room They were lying in beds. The daughters were touna sitting in tne kitchen alive. but delirious and fatally hurt. Shots had been heard in the night by the neigh- Dors, due tne bodies bear no bullet- marks. Information was promptly for- waraed to tne ponce nere. farks is a leading member of the church near his house and mnch esteemed in the com mnnity. No clue has been obtained as to the murderer. Great excitement prevails in tne vicinity, and should the villain be discovered he will probably be instantly lynched. It has transpired here that during the time General Palmer commanded the Department of Kentucky, and while martial law was in full force, he was in dicted by the grand jury of this city for felony under the state laws, to wit: stealing negroes, ueneral jfalmer re sponded to the summons of the Conrt and pleaded guilty to the indictment, because he believed in insubordination of the military to the civil power of the Government. This may serve to explain his course toward General Sheridan in Illinois. INDIAN ATROCITIES. A Stage Attacked and the Mails and Baggage Plundered by Indians Three Persons Killed and Several Wonnded. San Frakcisco, November 11, 1371: The Wickenburg and Lapere, Arizona, stage was attacked by fifty Apaches and Navajoes ten miles from the former place. The driver, John Letz, otherwise " Dutch John," and two passengers with him on the box, were killed at the first fire. Inside were five passengers, three of whom were killed. William Kinger and Miss Mollis Sheppard, of Pres-cott, were wonnded but escaped to the chapperal. Kinger defeated them with a revolver, and both reached Wick enburg. The names of the passengers killed were r red otokolm, J. JX. leering, U. P. Solomon, P. W. Howel, N. S. Adams, Loring and Hamell. Adams was scalped, and the mails and baggage plundered. One report says the attack was made by robbers instead of Indians. EUROPE.

D.a ft-'...... h. . -a -- The Cincinnati Price Current, under the heading of " Provision Trade Revo- - . . . .. . , lution" gives some interesting informa- tion concerning the growth of a new in- dustry the ioe-enring of pork in snm- mrwW, it 5. 1,: .1 . . , ,, , . , . e y, ""ura la " 010. packing traae. ao- cording to this trade journal, it may al- most do said that it is not longer neces sary to salt and lay aside meat in winter at all, any more than at any other season; there being, however, a ,few weeks in the heated term of summer when it is not necessary nor desirable to handle or use much meat. Swine are fattened more conveniently and more economi cally in fall weather, and then transpor tation can be done twenty per cent. cheaper. Fresh ice-cured meat is bright- er, sweeter, and sells higher for several of the lead nir Dualities than the drv. highly salted winter cured. Ice houses have been constructed at many western points where packing continues constantly and safely all summer. The ex-tra cost of oold air from ice is being rapidly reduced, and is already counting less than the expense of holdincr meat over from winter to summer. This state of affairs has completely npset the old business by which the - wealth of the pork-packing business has been ac quired. And the article concludes with the remark that "the last winter's packing stook has lately been selling at a loss of some forty per cent." W hether the indlherent Success which..! accord i n 9 tn this nnthnritv. has 1 at a1 v attended what was onoe the DttoniJ hit ... . single interest in Cincinnati is oaholly due to ice packing may be questioned. s1' ine Cincinnati inquirer contains a copy of an agreement entered into by the packers there, dated November 1st, in which they formally covenant with each other "that they will, in the purchase of gross hogs, during the packing season of 1071 and ls2, only weigh as merchant- able hogs such as will walk without as-1 sistance to the scale.' It is comforting to the general consnmer to know that her packers have "struck hands" over a bargain not to salt away any more "brok en down or diseased" pigs. -1 From the Louisville Courier-Journal. statistics snow that there are over thirty millions of hogs in the United States. The market draws from this stock annually, according to the demand at home and abroad and the prospects of the trade. It is supplied in proportion to the yield of mast and maize, and ac cording to the contingencies of the market itself. Usually, we belive, about four or five millions of these hogs are slaughtered annually; but of course the contingencies mentioned, more or less affect the drift upon the main stock. The crop of hogs of 1870 and 1871 was much the largest crop we have ever had in the West, say nearly a million more than ever before, andduring last summer Chicago received from two to ten thou sand every day during the warm weath er, and all the other cities in the same proportion. Notwithstanding the extra large crop and summer curing, the stock has been consumed. In 1869-70 the prices were very nign, say from eight to ten dollars. The high prices of that year, together with the extremely fine crop of" corn, produced this large supply, all other products being comparatively much lower, and at those prices it was the best thing that a farmer could turn his atten tion to. A large corn crop always adds to the crop of hogs, as farmers can, in Au gust, September, October and November, put on about two hundred pounds.to each hog, when they are of good quality: so that pigs and shoats can be made into large hogs very soon when we have plenty of corn. This year there was no inducement like that that existed last year. Last season's prices being so low, and it being the general expectation to get low prices this season, the same attention was not paid to hogs, and the farmers turned their attention to other products, such as hemp, tobacco, etc. Besides, there has been a short crop of corn made in the West this year, owing to the great drouth. As evidence of this, you have no June rise in the Ohio river, and you have had no coal-boat rise since laBt spring, and it has been so dry in the Northwest that the country has been on fire, and great losses have ocenrred, all owing to the excessive dry weather. The corn crop is said to be fine in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, etc., but short in the South and in Kentucky, Ohio, etc. Owing to the extremely short crop of com, fimers cannot feed, and are pushing their hogs on the market. Where they have corn to feed with, water ii so scarce that they conld not feed their hogs and have driven them to market, that being the best they can do. This will account for so early receiving so large a number, and by being sent in so soon they will bo much lighter than usual. So I conclude that we are not to have so many hogs this year as last, the rea sons to me being conclusive on that point. SECT OF JHUTILATED. Remarkable Sect of Russia. Fanatics in A correspondent at Moscow, writing on the 10th of October, says: "A trial is now going on which excites public curi osity in au -extraordinary degree. The accused are members of the sect of the Skoptzi (mutilated). They are charged with heresy and the propagation of heretical opinions, and the conrt is crowded on each day of the trial by fashionable people anxious to see how these singular fanatics look and behave. The most remarkable of the prisoners is an old man of eighty, named Michael Artamonof, a sort of prophet in the sect. He wears bine spectacles, his hair is cut close to the head, and a twist in his mouth gives him a forbidding aspect. During the trial he sits immovable, with bis hands on his knees. Behind him sit the brothers Kurdyn and twenty-four women. The eldest of the Kurdyns has a shy look, a yellow complexion and a voice Ilko a woman's. His mutilation dates from the year 1848. His second brother is a portrait painter; he is short and exceedingly grave and reserved in manner, lhe youngest ot tne Jh-urayna is a Moscow merchant, forty years old; he was mutilated, when a child, by his own father. His answers show great intelligence and a considerable amonnt of culture. Among the women there is not one that is remarkable eitner Dy personal appearance, education or social position. Most of them are advanced in age (one is eighty years old); and these seem lost to all sense of modesty. The younger girls, however, show that they keenly feel tho shame of their position, and answer with a shy reserve which contrasts very favor ably with the brazen self-assertion of their elders."

Senator Sherman is represented as having recently declared to an inter viewer "that all talk about members This we take to : be the concentrated essence of impudence.

Notwithstanding the card of de-vial on the' part of the officials of that Stie, there is a general belief that there is something wrong, and the bonds are 'selling in the New York market at thirty cents on the dollar.. The Charleston Cturfer of November 7th, in a strong Editorial, recommends the people of the Stata tn rAnndiat all th hnnds of the State Issued under Scott's administration, if the reported frauds be true, and it reiterates the recommendation on the following day.

QBEKLEV AHD GREENBACKS. n Strange to relate, the New York Tribune has become a convert to an important financial , proposition set forth in the platform of the Ohio Democracy, the advocacy of which by General Thomas Ewino in the late canvass, elicited from the . Republican papers and speakers generally, and also from some Demo-oratie journals (the Chicago Times and Detroit Free Press, for instance,) a great deal of opposition and ridicule. We re fer to the declaration in favor of the gradual redemption of the Five-twenties in greenbacks, and " that (we quote the Democratic platform) to guard against too great an expansion, the greenbacks should be made convertible into three per cent. bonds at the option of the note holders, said bonds to be redeemed in greenbacks on de mand.' That is the marrow of the Dem ocratic resolution on the financial policy tthat should be pnrsued by the Government. , -. The New York Tribune last week in an ' article pronouncing Senator Bodtweix's plan of funding the national debt, at tower rate 01 interest a failure, oomes out strongly in favor of the polioy of funding the greenbacks in three per cent, bonds, again convertible at the pleasure of the holder in greenbacks. This, of coarse, to prevent too great an expansion. . As the Tribune has been one ' of the most vigorous opponents of the aancial policy advocated by the Ohio Democracy, its conversion to an essen tial part thereof is somewhat remarka- ' 00 I VOL.

Oar Greenbacks, no longer false. but convertible at pleasure into bonds bearing a moderate gold interest and ex changeable as aforesaid, oonld not fail to appreciate steadily until they nearly reached the level of gold. Indeed, they would, unless issued too profusely, be really better than gold. Drawing a higher rate of interest than British Con sols, and convertible at pleasure, as these are not, they would in time obtain cur rency even in the Old World. v. lhe trouble so inveterate! v bor rowed by thousands with respect to "over-issues," "redundant currency,'"' &.C., wonld (or at least should) be hereby dispelled. If there were at any time an excess of currency, it wonld tend to precipitate itself into the bonds aforesaid. II there should ever be a scarcity of currency, bonds wonld be exchanged at the Treasury for greenbacks till the want was fully supplied, iilack Fridays and the locking np of greenbacks would soon be numbered with lost arts and hobgob lin terrors. ; VI. Though the demand for these bonds might for months be moderate, their convenience and manifest utility would soon diffuse their popularity and stimulate an ever-widening demand for them. I hey wonld be a favorite invest ment with guardians and trustees who should expect to be required to pay over tu" I.uuuo """" "uom " Jf, whether fixed or uncertain. They would say : "Thoagh I might invest or deposit these funds where they would command higher interest, I choose to place them where I know they will be safe at the hand when called for." VIL Ultimately, we believe they would become so popular that hundreds of mil- hons of them would be absorbed at or very near the par of specie, and that with the proceeds an equal amount of outstanding sixes might be redeemed and canceled, without advertising for loans or paying banker to shin for us throughout Europe. The interest thus saved to our country would be an im portant item. Such are the rude outlines of a plan whioh we did not originate, but which we heartily endorse. Why not give it a trial T We should dearly like to inform Europe that, since she seems not to want any more of our bonds at five per cent., we have concluded to take the balance ourselves at three and two-thirds. The only difference between the plan of the Ohio Democrats and the Tribune, is that the latter proposes to bay up bonds at their value on a gold basis (111, in currency) while the Democra cy declare that the government creditor should be paid in precisely the same cur rency he loaned the government, unless the contract otherwise provides. For a thousand dollar bond we wonld pay the holder a thousand dollars in greenbacks, while the Tribune wonld pay $1,125 50 in greenbacks. Only this little difference as to the redemption remains to be adjust ed, and the Tribune and everybody else will find it pleasant sailing. OBIO NEWS. John S.

HUMORS ABOUT TWHED AND HIS ASSOCIATES.There are rumors current that Tweed is meditating flight. Charles O'Connor and his associates in the prosecution of city plunderers, have information to this effect. In view of his having transferred so much of his property, and overwhelming evidence against him as well in ref erence to Erie railroad frauds as those against the city, it is contemplated on the part of the Attorney General to ask an inorease of bail. As yet no answer has been put in in Tweed's ease ; no no tice of appearance has been received. Xbe Unbune, commenting on the sub ject of Tweed's flight, says, "to let him escape now would be to lose the fruits of the late victory, and that his punish ment ac nara laDor in tne state prison the rest of his life is demanded bv everv consideration of pnblio politioal morality.

The tone of the speakers was of the strongest character against all kinds of official thievery. The intimation from several speakers that lamp posts should be orna mented with the bodies of repeaters and ballot-box stuffers elicited enthusiastic cheering. A committee was appointed to collect evidence ot a praotical char acter. All the pecuniary, moral and physical aid necessary was pledged. lhe Democratic itetorm Committee have evidence that fifteen thousand fraudulent votes were counted Tuesday.

There was considerable excitement in town this evening caused by the announcement that the Russian Prince had arrived in the lower bay. The basis of report was in the arrival of one of the Russian fngaets below. Quarastink, StaTks ISLAND, Nov., 12. 187. The Russian clipper Abrick, Captain Schanter, thirty two days from Aledeira, anchored in the lower bay last night. Captain Schanter says that he parted company with the Admiral about twenty-1 seven days ago, and.that his arrival here may be expected at any moment. The Abrick was boarded by the revenue cut ter Northerner at seven o'clock this morning. Charles O Connor said yesterday that Tweed was taking au the preliminary steps that men take when they seek to elude justice by nignt to a foreign land. The police would not be very active in orresting mm even now, 11 tne commit tee of Seventy could give them power. and would not help us by informing of his movements. O'Connor believed that Tweed would certainly fly, and there are not many impediments in his way but wherever they go in Europe they will find they cannot remain with impu nity, but will be followed wnerever law can follow. As to Field, his seat in the Assembly will be disputed, on the ground ot fraud in tne elections, ot which proof is so aunnaant mat iioratio Sey mour will surely take nis seat. The new charter, already drafted for submission to the Legislature, win provide a more just government for the people. As to the dinlcnlty about tne Aiaermen, the Mayor need not trouble himself about it, as in January, in any case, the newly elected Aldermen will be the Aldermen, and all points ot law swept away.

Soma of the best talent in the United States is expected to be present at the Labor Reform Convention to be held on December 5th. Already some four or five hundred credentials have been mailed to influential sympathizers. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONERS. The Civil Service Commissioners, to day, resumed their regular session, which had been interrupted by a week's recess. All the members were present excepting Mr. Med ill, who is still detained in Chi cago. The subject under discussion to day was, "What exceptions are neces sary to the proposed general rules in ap pointment f" . RESIGNATION OF GENERAL SIGEL. The resignation of General Franz Sigel, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Ninth district of New York, was re ceived at the Treasury to-day. The object of the recent visit of Mr. Evarts to Washington was in connection with bnsiness to be brought before the tribunal of arbitration at Geneva. No information has yet been reoeived from Benjamin R. Curtis as to his ac ceptance of the tender of the appoint ment as associate counsel. A-few claims only have as yet been re ceived for presentation to the United States and British Commission, which will reassemble in this city Tuesday. Mr. Howard, the British agent, has been instructed by his Government not to present to the Commission claims of persons heretofore British subjects who have become naturalized citizens of the United States. United States and Spanish Commissions will proceed to consider claims in December. Before the Commission was authorized a large number of claims for spoliations in Cuba were presented to the Department of State. Perhaps not more than nine or ten have so far been presented to the Commission in accordance with the prescribed form. THE HORNET DIFFICULTY. Statements that several Spanish war vessels had left Cnban waters for the purpose of seizing the Hornet are pro nounced untrue. The Spanish authori ties have already been advised that se rious trouble may result should the Hornet be seized while she is under the American flag, and especially as it is not known that she has vio lated the neutrality laws. While it cannot positively be asserted that she is privileged to carry onr flag, her true character, nevertheless, is a qneition for oivil investigation, and not to be determined alone by the Spanish authorities with the aid of a naval force. Another subject in this connection forms . - .. .. . . a Dasia ot r.nmnlaint nvtnn Knanisn linv. eminent, namely: Not long ago the Spanish Consul at irort-au-frince made a demand on the Havtien anthoritien for the surrender of the Hornet, but was refused, our Minister there having entered a strong protest against it, and also against the Spanish menace. Some time after these proceedings the Spanish Consul, while passing the wharf where the ves sel lay was londly derided by her orew, which is said to consist ot about two hundred colored sailors. In consequence of these proceedings, the Consul returned to his consulate and took down his flag, and the fact of the alleged indignity has been communicated to oar Uovernment Thna tha mat. tor now stands, with no aded by the Spanish vessel, Hayti being too feeble to demand respect for her neu trality. WEATHER PROBABILITIES. The barometer will probably continue high with clear weather to-night, and be followed by clondy weather on Monday in Middle and Eastern States. Clouds and rain extend very generally over Mississippi valley and eastward ovor the Ohio valley and Lake Huron. Increasing southeasterly winds on Lake Michigan to-night and elsewhere, dangerous winds are not anticipated, precautionary sig- nals are ordered for this evening at Chi- p.nirn and Milwankee. MURDER. A Father Murders His Two Little Girls by Driving Nails into their Heads Arrest of the Bloaster. Sr. Lours, November 12, 1871 A horrible mnrder was committed near Osage Mission, Kansas, on the night of theCth inst. The facts elicited at the coroner's inquest are as follows: John P, Flanagan, the perpetrator of the crime, having recently met with pecuniary lessee, resolved to dispatch himself and family, and on the 6th inst. procured chloroform, and during the night administered it to his wife and two lit tle girls, aged ten months and two years. About four o'clock in the morning Mrs. Flanagan awoke from the stupor pro duced by the chloroform and discovered her husband in the act ot driving ten- penny nails into the head of one of the children, and nying to tne rescue ot ner I babes, she found them expiring I from the effects of the blows in flioted with the hatchet and nails. She succeded in disarming her husband, gave the alarm, and he was taken into custody. A letter was found tacked to the wall of the room addressed to some of his lelatives, in which he states that in consequence of his mind being in sue a a condition that lie could not do anything, he had determined to kill himself and family, excepting his son Clarence. CHICAGO. Meeting of Craia Receivers Action of Distillers Saicides The Vote for Congressman Import Duties Dead Rodics Fonnd. Chicago, November 11, 1871. MEETING OF GRAIN RECEIVERS. A meeting of grain receivers, who have lost grain burnt in the cars and eleva tors, prior to delivery to consigners, was held yesterday evening. The chairman of the meeting announced that he had called upon the authorities of the North western and Illinois Central Railroad, and in answer to his inquiry, they said they should refuse to pay for grain in their hands, since the loss was by the act of God. The consignees hold that there was no delivery until they had reoeived and paid the freight bills. A committee was appointed to draw up a paper to be signed by all who wanted to prosecute the road, ft was generally understood that the road would agree to a test case. ACTION OF DISTILLERS.

The feet, faoe and one hand of deceased are badly burned, and it is believed that while intoxicated he undertook to warm himself among the smouldering ruins, near where he was found, fell and re oeived the injuries described, and then crawled to the tunnel entrance, when, exhausted by pain and partly uncon scious from drink, he lay down to die. Another dead body was fonnd on the lake shore, just south of Menomonee street. The remains bad been washed np by the waves, and have the appearance of having been some time in the water. KENTUCKY.

Great excitement prevails in tne vicinity, and should the villain be discovered he will probably be instantly lynched. It has transpired here that during the time General Palmer commanded the Department of Kentucky, and while martial law was in full force, he was in dicted by the grand jury of this city for felony under the state laws, to wit: stealing negroes, ueneral jfalmer re sponded to the summons of the Conrt and pleaded guilty to the indictment, because he believed in insubordination of the military to the civil power of the Government. This may serve to explain his course toward General Sheridan in Illinois. INDIAN ATROCITIES. A Stage Attacked and the Mails and Baggage Plundered by Indians Three Persons Killed and Several Wonnded. San Frakcisco, November 11, 1371: The Wickenburg and Lapere, Arizona, stage was attacked by fifty Apaches and Navajoes ten miles from the former place. The driver, John Letz, otherwise " Dutch John," and two passengers with him on the box, were killed at the first fire. Inside were five passengers, three of whom were killed. William Kinger and Miss Mollis Sheppard, of Pres-cott, were wonnded but escaped to the chapperal. Kinger defeated them with a revolver, and both reached Wick enburg. The names of the passengers killed were r red otokolm, J. JX. leering, U. P. Solomon, P. W. Howel, N. S. Adams, Loring and Hamell. Adams was scalped, and the mails and baggage plundered.

D.a ft-'...... h. . -a -- The Cincinnati Price Current, under the heading of " Provision Trade Revo- - . . . .. . , lution" gives some interesting informa- tion concerning the growth of a new in- dustry the ioe-enring of pork in snm- mrwW, it 5. 1,: .1 . . , ,, , . , . e y, ""ura la " 010. packing traae. ao- cording to this trade journal, it may al- most do said that it is not longer neces sary to salt and lay aside meat in winter at all, any more than at any other season; there being, however, a ,few weeks in the heated term of summer when it is not necessary nor desirable to handle or use much meat. Swine are fattened more conveniently and more economi cally in fall weather, and then transpor tation can be done twenty per cent. cheaper. Fresh ice-cured meat is bright- er, sweeter, and sells higher for several of the lead nir Dualities than the drv. highly salted winter cured. Ice houses have been constructed at many western points where packing continues constantly and safely all summer. The ex-tra cost of oold air from ice is being rapidly reduced, and is already counting less than the expense of holdincr meat over from winter to summer. This state of affairs has completely npset the old business by which the - wealth of the pork-packing business has been ac quired. And the article concludes with the remark that "the last winter's packing stook has lately been selling at a loss of some forty per cent." W hether the indlherent Success which..! accord i n 9 tn this nnthnritv. has 1 at a1 v attended what was onoe the DttoniJ hit ... . single interest in Cincinnati is oaholly due to ice packing may be questioned. s1' ine Cincinnati inquirer contains a copy of an agreement entered into by the packers there, dated November 1st, in which they formally covenant with each other "that they will, in the purchase of gross hogs, during the packing season of 1071 and ls2, only weigh as merchant- able hogs such as will walk without as-1 sistance to the scale.' It is comforting to the general consnmer to know that her packers have "struck hands" over a bargain not to salt away any more "brok en down or diseased" pigs. -1 From the Louisville Courier-Journal. statistics snow that there are over thirty millions of hogs in the United States. The market draws from this stock annually, according to the demand at home and abroad and the prospects of the trade. It is supplied in proportion to the yield of mast and maize, and ac cording to the contingencies of the market itself. Usually, we belive, about four or five millions of these hogs are slaughtered annually; but of course the contingencies mentioned, more or less affect the drift upon the main stock. The crop of hogs of 1870 and 1871 was much the largest crop we have ever had in the West, say nearly a million more than ever before, andduring last summer Chicago received from two to ten thou sand every day during the warm weath er, and all the other cities in the same proportion. Notwithstanding the extra large crop and summer curing, the stock has been consumed. In 1869-70 the prices were very nign, say from eight to ten dollars. The high prices of that year, together with the extremely fine crop of" corn, produced this large supply, all other products being comparatively much lower, and at those prices it was the best thing that a farmer could turn his atten tion to. A large corn crop always adds to the crop of hogs, as farmers can, in Au gust, September, October and November, put on about two hundred pounds.to each hog, when they are of good quality: so that pigs and shoats can be made into large hogs very soon when we have plenty of corn. This year there was no inducement like that that existed last year. Last season's prices being so low, and it being the general expectation to get low prices this season, the same attention was not paid to hogs, and the farmers turned their attention to other products, such as hemp, tobacco, etc. Besides, there has been a short crop of corn made in the West this year, owing to the great drouth. As evidence of this, you have no June rise in the Ohio river, and you have had no coal-boat rise since laBt spring, and it has been so dry in the Northwest that the country has been on fire, and great losses have ocenrred, all owing to the excessive dry weather. The corn crop is said to be fine in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, etc., but short in the South and in Kentucky, Ohio, etc. Owing to the extremely short crop of com, fimers cannot feed, and are pushing their hogs on the market. Where they have corn to feed with, water ii so scarce that they conld not feed their hogs and have driven them to market, that being the best they can do. This will account for so early receiving so large a number, and by being sent in so soon they will bo much lighter than usual. So I conclude that we are not to have so many hogs this year as last, the rea sons to me being conclusive on that point. SECT OF JHUTILATED. Remarkable Sect of Russia. Fanatics in A correspondent at Moscow, writing on the 10th of October, says: "A trial is now going on which excites public curi osity in au -extraordinary degree. The accused are members of the sect of the Skoptzi (mutilated). They are charged with heresy and the propagation of heretical opinions, and the conrt is crowded on each day of the trial by fashionable people anxious to see how these singular fanatics look and behave. The most remarkable of the prisoners is an old man of eighty, named Michael Artamonof, a sort of prophet in the sect. He wears bine spectacles, his hair is cut close to the head, and a twist in his mouth gives him a forbidding aspect. During the trial he sits immovable, with bis hands on his knees. Behind him sit the brothers Kurdyn and twenty-four women. The eldest of the Kurdyns has a shy look, a yellow complexion and a voice Ilko a woman's. His mutilation dates from the year 1848. His second brother is a portrait painter; he is short and exceedingly grave and reserved in manner, lhe youngest ot tne Jh-urayna is a Moscow merchant, forty years old; he was mutilated, when a child, by his own father. His answers show great intelligence and a considerable amonnt of culture. Among the women there is not one that is remarkable eitner Dy personal appearance, education or social position. Most of them are advanced in age (one is eighty years old); and these seem lost to all sense of modesty. The younger girls, however, show that they keenly feel tho shame of their position, and answer with a shy reserve which contrasts very favor ably with the brazen self-assertion of their elders."
